    Actually more work that way, Doug...and you'll have to trust me on that.

    And even then, most such threads repeat every year or so.

    Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
    "Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

    OK Jim, as long as your not selling any bridges.

    While I have posted in a couple I would rather if there wasn't an "off topic" section on this forum. As much as people try not to politics will always enter into the discussion. On other forums I belong to they have those sections private like the Lumber Yard but you have to opt in to gain access and it's more hidden (nothing would show up on the "Hottest Threads") from view by anyone who didn't request access. Even then it's very moderated and threads are locked down very quickly. I'm sure most come here for woodworking related information. Loosing the non-related stuff most likely wouldn't drive anyone to leave.
